Exercises on Lesson XII.
1. Gather dandelion flowers at different stages of growth. Draw, on a large scale, a single floret from each, 2. Draw a leaf of the dandelion. Compare it with a primrose leaf. See if you can make out, from the shape of the leaf, why the plant is called “dandelion” (dent de lion = “lion’s tooth”). 3. Take in a dandelion plant bearing young flowers. Keep the root in well-watered soil, or in water only, and watch the growth of its flowers. 4. Make a list of all the wind-carried seeds you know, and give a drawing or short description of each.
